High Meadows is a two-bedroom detached house in Barnacre, Preston, Preston (PR3 1RP). It has a recorded floor area of 230 m² (around 2476 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 2007 onwards. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in May 2009 the rating was G, the property has climbed 4 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 92), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since August 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £565,000 sits 91.5% above the 2010 sale of £295,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£119/sq ft) was about 44.4% below the postcode norm. At 230 m² it's 18.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (194 m² median across 5 EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2022.
High Meadows's carbon output runs well above what efficient homes in the postcode produce.
